Hi,

The import GUI* provides the "Dated - specified by date series" option useful for irregularly dated datasets... but what is the corresponding argument for the import command that carries that same task performed by the GUI?

In other words...what's the appropriate argument in the"import([type=], options)" function? Or, to be more general, what's the command (at all) that is equivalent to the aforementioned option in the import GUI?

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Carlos



*Note: Import GUI window is called "Excel read"...and the "Dated - specified by date series" appears in step 3 out of 3. ...The help file does not provide a description of what is the corresponding command that performs the task "Dated - specified by date series" option available in such GUI.

You can probably just use the match-merge option, with @id being used to specify the date column in the incoming file, and the just use: for the destination id.

Just tolet people know: This worked! Thank you very much!
